Don't really use thus will not repurchase unless necessary

Since school is starting for me (and many of you as well), let me share a quick and simple 5 minute make up look with you! This is typically what I wear, if any, to school on a daily basis. I tend to omit some steps as time goes by though. You will look fresh and ready for the day. It is beginner-friendly to those who are new to makeup, don't worry yup.


This my first attempt on pictorial tutorial so let me know where I can improve.



Step by Step:

1. Start with a clean and moisturised face.




2. Use sunscreen. Here I am using Neutrogena dry touch sunblock.
After that I will use Etude House eyelash serum to moisturise my lashes and make them appear longer and thicker.


Nobody has the time to remove those troublesome mascara after a long day in school yo.





3. Conceal those panda eyes. (you can skip this step if you've flawless skin)


Nobody has the time for sleep during school term. So conceal conceal coneal! Use a concealer before powder foundation. If you're using liquid-based base makeup, use it after that. I used the same thing on scars and any imperfections.




4. Cream blush! Same as the concealer-foundation theory - no cream/liquid after powder if not it might get cakey.


Pick some up with your fingers and blend it upwards outwards from the center of your face. I like it on the apple of my cheeks.

I chose cream blush because it is super natural and easy to apply! No tools required Plus, having it under your base will give you the healthy flush of color.





5. Powder foundation as a base.



I picked powder foundation for school because it last a long time, super hassle-free to put on and it has decent coverage for everyday look.




6. Fill in your eyebrows!



Etude house crayon brow pencil is very pigmented and last the whole day one me. The angled tip makes it easy to draw. It also comes with a spoolie to soften the brows after filling them in.
I wear my brows straight most of the time now.




7. Use a liquid eye liner to draw your eyeline. I extend it slightly downwards to make my eyes appear rounder.


You can choose a pencil liner for a more natural look.




8. Slightly contour your nose. This is optional but I like to take a couple of seconds to do this as it really brings out my features.




9. Highlight my nose bridge, cupid's bow, chin, aeogysal(eyebags) and inner corner.





10. Without picking up anymore product, press the puff on your skin once more to blend everything in.






10. Apply a layer of tinted lip balm, preferably with SPF.



DONE.



Super easy and it usually takes around 5 minutes for me to complete this look. This is a great look to do when you're running out of time or you do not want to look too made up.


I tried to be as specific as possible, I hope you find this helpful!
Leave me a comment if you want to see any other looks or review on the products I have used. I might used it here but it does not mean it is favourite, you get the drift ya.

I know, not again? I've the tendency to write about the same thing over and over again. Pardon me.

However, I feel that I need to write about this because 1. I just got it 2. There's an on-going promotion 3. The previous one was a boo product.


I know. Point number 1. -_____- So much of FINISHING the Watsons lipbalm first before purchasing another. (But I figured out how to make full use of them already, see below)






What I like:


The smell

Told ya I'm a sucker for sweet scents.



The function

Guess this is like the most important thing people look at when they are buying a lip balm right? Whether it is moisturising, how long will it last on your lips, how does it feel etc. Well, it is moisturising. I used it on the day I bought it and applied right after meals. You know what? Within 1 day, my chapped lips are gone. Impressed.



The texture

It feels really light on my lips. Love it. Hate those waxy feeling. It still feels like it is on your lips but not in an overpowering manner.



The colour and sparkles

This is a good-bad thing (mentioned here before).
I don't have to bring another lip gloss/stick with this tinted lip balm.



The sun protection

SPF 10. Good good. Lips need protection as well. I used to use another lip product with SPF in it and it helps to lighten dark lips. (coupled with regular exfoliation)




What I don't like:


The colour

Yes, I'm contradicting myself. But wait let me explain.
One thin layer and the colour + shimmer is really nice.



However, if you apply a little too much, it is a little bright and too sparkly (for my liking).





The packaging

It is a little too fat. LOL I'm troublesome like that.




The Verdict:

This is a good everyday lip balm. It provides enough protection such as SPF. At night I would apply my Watsons one. Don't want anything with SPF in it on my skin (or lips) when I'm snoozing!

Added it to my fav list but might not repurchase. There are other brands I'm planning to try once I finish this tube *hopefully!*
